1 Yohana 3
1 Mbe nimulole ni lyenda lya kutiki linu Lata achiyaye, ati chibhilikilwe bhana bha Nyamuanga, na nikwo kutyo chili. Ku nsonga inu Echalo chitakuchimenya kulwo kubha chitamumenyele omwene.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Abhendwa eswe wolyanu chili bhana bha Nyamuanga, na jichali kumenyekana lwa kutyo jakabhe. Echimenya ati olwo Kristo alibhonekana, chilisusana nage, kulwo kubha chilimulola lwa kutyo ali.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 Na bhuli umwi unu ali no bhubhasi bhunu kwo okulubhana no mwanya gunu oguja gunu gwelesibhwe ku mwene, abhelesha abhene lwa kutyo mwenene ali mwelu
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Bhuli munu unu kagendelela okukola ebhibhibhi kanyamula ebhilagilo. Ku nsonga echibhibhi ni bhunyamusi bhwe bhilagilo.
Whoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law; for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 mumenyele ati Kristo abhulisibhwe koleleki asoshewo echibhibhi chimwi. Na mu mwene chitalimo chibhibhi.
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Ataliwo nolwo umwi unu katula okulama mu mwene no kugendelela okukola ebhibhibhi. Ataliwo munu nolwo umwi unu katula okulama mu bhibhibhi akabha amubhwene amwi amumenyele mwenene.
Whoever abideth in him sinneth not: whoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Abhana abhendwa, munu wona wona asiga kubhayabhya. Unu kakola ejo bhulengelesi ni mulengelesi, lwa kutyo Kristo one ni mulengelesi.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 Unu kakola ebhibhibhi ni wa Shetani, ku nsonga Shetani ni mukosi we bhibhibhi kusoka bhusimuka. Ku nsonga inu omwana wa Nyamuanga abhulisibhwe koleleki atule okujinyamula emilimu ja Shetani.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Wona wona unu ebhuywe na Nyamuanga atakutula kukola chibhibhi, Ku nsonga injuma ya Nyamuanga imulimo. Atakutula kugendelela kukola chibhibhi Ku nsonga ebhuywe na Nyamuanga.
Whoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 Mulinu bhana bha Nyamuanga na bhana bha Shetani abhamenyekana. Wona wona unu atakukola chinu chili cho bhulengelesi, atali wa Nyamuanga, nolwo ulya unu atakutula okumwenda owabho.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 Gunu Nigwo omusango gunu mwonguywe okusoka bhusimuka, ati kuchiile okwenda eswe abhene kwa bhene,
For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 atali lwa kutyo Kaini aliga ali mubhibhi no kumwita owabho. Na ni kulwa-ki amwitile? Ku nsonga ye bhikolwa bhyaye bhyaliga bhibhibhi, ne bhyo wabho bhyaliga bhyo bhulengelesi.
Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13 Bhana bhasu, mwasiga kulugula, nolwo echalo chikabhabhililillwa.
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 Echimenya ati chasokele mu lufu no kwingila mu bhuanga, ku nsonga echibhenda abhaili bhasu. Wona wona unu atali na lyenda kakomela mu kufwa.
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother, abideth in death.
15 Omunu wona wona unu kamubhiilililwa owabho ni mwiti. Na mumenyele ati obhuanga bhwa kajanende bhutakwinyanja munda yo mwiti. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever hateth his brother, is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Mu linu echilimenya elyenda, ku nsonga Kristo esosishe obhuanga bhekaye ingulu yeswe. Neswe one kuchiile okubhusosha obhulame bheswe ingulu ya bhasu.
By this we perceive the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren.
17 Mbe nawe wona wona unu ali ne bhinu, mbe namulola owabho ali mukene, mbe nawe naguganya omwoyo gwaye ogwe chigongo ingulu yaye; Angu, okwenda kwa Nyamuanga kubhekayemo kutiki?
But he who hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 Abhana bhani abhendwa, chasiga kwenda kwe minwa-la nolwo kwe misango jinu chitalimo chinu nawe mu bhikolwa ne chimali.
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
19 Mu linu echimenya ati eswe chili mu chimali, ne mioyo jeswe ejikomelesha mu mwene.
And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20 Nolwo kutyo emioyo jeswe ejichilamula, Nyamuanga ni mukulu kukila emioyo jeswe, no mwene kamenya misango jona.
For if our heart condemneth us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Abhendwa, alabha emioyo jeswe jitakuchilamula, mbe chili no bhubhasi ku Nyamuanga.
Beloved, if our heart doth not condemn us, [then] have we confidence towards God.
22 Na chona chona chinu echisabhwa echichilamila okusoka kwaye, ku nsonga chigawtile ebhilagilo bhyaye no kukola emisango jinu ejo kukondelesha imbele yaye.
And whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 Mbe chinu nicho echilagilo chaye ati kuchiile okulikilisha lisina lyo mwana ways Yesu Kristo no mwendanega eswe abhene kwa bhene -lwa kutyo achiyaye echilagilo chaye,
And this is his commandment; That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 unu kabhyolobhela ebhilagilo bhyaye kakomela mu mwene, na Nyamuanga kabhekalamo abhene. Na ku nsonga inu echimenya ati kachiikaya eswe, ku Mwoyo unu achiyaye.
And he that keepeth his commandments, dwelleth in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
